Slim raspbian default Raspberry-pi Image
Wed, 26 Dec 2012 by Frank LazzariniThe 'default' Raspberry-Pi image Raspbian comes with a lot of overhead which is mostly not wanted at least in my case. Here is a little aptitude line which gets rid of all the stuff we don't want on our little embedded system like Xorg server, fonts, X Applications, LXDE and so forth. To slim/trim down your Raspbian installation.
sudo apt-get remove --purge x11-common x11-utils x11-xkb-utils x11-xserver-utils \ xarchiver xauth xkb-data xinit lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter consolekit \ libx{composite,cb,cursor,damage,dmcp,ext,font,ft,i,inerama,kbfile,klavier,mu,pm,randr,render,res,t,xf86}* \ lxde* lx{input,menu-data,panel,polkit,randr,session,session-edit,shortcut,task,terminal} \ obconf openbox gtk* libgtk* python-pygame python-tk python3-tk scratch tsconf omxplayer squeak-vm \ penguinspuzzle mupdf netsurf-gtk menu-xdg sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean
